I think the flag is doing sensible things; it's just that the word
"never" in the name is confusing, since it is "never except this one
time".
Would PACKET_READ_GENTLE_ON_READ_ERROR be a better name, to match
GENTLE_ON_EOF? I was tempted to just call it "ON_ERROR", since it also
include parsing errors, but maybe somebody would think that includes ERR
packets (that is more of a stretch, though, I think).
Likewise, I kind of wonder if callers would really prefer suppressing
the error() calls, too. Saying "error: the remote end hung up
unexpectedly" is not that helpful if the "remote end" we are talking
about is fsmonitor, and not the server side of a fetch.
